A recipe usually takes a specific format for example:
- Title
- Ingredients
- Instructions

The instructions are usually rather specific, to heat the oven to 350 degrees, to combine eggs and sugar until creamy, and things to that effect.

To pretend I could divine the process by which a person is made would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. I don't refer to conception as the process by which a person is made, but rather to the process by which a person is built, the stimuli which will form the person, the "nurture" in the "nature and nurture" argument.

In the interest of self-exploration I will assume that one wanted to "build" me. I've already confessed that I couldn't begin to explain how to attach components to form a working person, but that I might give a head start to anyone who might try, I've decided that I can supply a (partial, at least,) list of parts and ingredients one might procure in order to build a me.

Main Ingredients:
